Dito ako nagagalit sa kongreso. Kapag gumagawa sila ng usapin dahil sa kathang isip. Yung aming forum, madalas kathang isip.
I am calling the attention of Chairman Alvarez. Every day, non-entities, unknown groups of corporations, apply for a franchise and we act on them judiciously, promptly.
Why are we dragging our feet on this critical and crucial issue of the franchise renewal of a television network that is part and parcel of our past, present and dependent on the future?
Tayo po ba ay manonood na lamang samantalang ang korte ang magde-decide sa kinabukasan ng prangkisang ito?
We should demand for the committee on franchises to meet on this issue. Otherwise, kung ayaw pong gumalaw ng chairman, pwede na po siyang mag-resign at pumalit ang magde-decide at mangunguna sa deliberation ng prangkisang ito.
I don’t know if Cong. Alvarez is listening, but if he is, I challenge you, take up the issue! I also appeal to Speaker Cayetano to take up the issue not tomorrow, today.
Sa interview matapos ang speech ay muling inulit ni Atienza ang kanyang sinabi, “Magbitiw ka sa iyong puwesto (Alvarez) dahil kung hindi ka galaw, you are frozen in your position we will not be able to respect your position on the matter.”
